The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
Lens is a notably updated version of Canon's
popular 100mm Macro lens. In its latest incarnation,
the '100 Macro' joins Canon's esteemed 'L'-series,
and as such is held to a higher level of resolving
power, overall construction, and weatherproofing.
Other improvements found on the EF 100mm f/2.8L
include Optical Image Stabilization with up to
4-stops of shake control, and a refined Ultra Sonic
Motor (USM) for quicker and quieter auto-focusing
with full-time manual override.
Like its predecessor,
the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L allows for a comfortable,
shadow-free shooting distance between the front of
the lens barrel and the subject with life-size (1:1)
magnification. Optional extension tubes increase
this magnification for exceptional close-up detail.
